PREFACE. 


THERE  is  little  to  be  said  by  way  of  preface  to  this  Catalogue. 
Had  the  ancient  Library  of  the  College  survived1,  the 
collection  would  have  stood  high  among  College  Libraries.  As 
it  is,  the  manuscripts  are  markedly  few  in  number. 

Thomas  James,  writing  his  Ecloga  Oxonio-Cantabrigiensis  in 
1600,  found  only  seven  volumes  to  catalogue ;  and  these  the 
College  still  possesses2.  The  old  Library  must  clearly  have  dis- 
appeared before  his  time.  For  this  total  evanishment  of  174 
volumes  no  process  of  gradual  purloining  or  decay  will  satisfactorily 
account.  I  cannot  but  think  it  likely  that  Henry  VIII.,  or  some 
one  possessed  of  power  and  unscrupulousness  comparable  to  his, 
must  have  removed  them  en  bloc.  At  present,  however,  no  record 
of  any  such  transaction  is  known  to  exist  in  the  College.  If  any 
trace  of  our  lost  Library  should  come  to  the  knowledge  of  a 
reader,  I  would  ask  him,  on  behalf  of  the  College,  to  acquaint  the 
Society  with  his  discovery. 

In  the  compilation  of  this  volume  I  have  had  the  advantage  of 
using  some  partial  descriptions,  and  complete  collations  of  the  first 
eighteen  MSS.,  made  by  the  late  Mr  Bradshaw.  The  brilliance 
and  thoroughness  of  his  work  is  nowhere  more  conspicuous  than 
in  his  solution  of  the  disarrangement  of  the  text  of  S.  Augustine's 
tract  de  quantitate  anhnae  in  no.  3. 

The  College  possesses,  besides  the  Western  MSS.  here  cata- 
logued, a  large  collection  of  Oriental  MSS.,  made  at  Patna  by 
Mr  Pote.  This  gentleman  divided  his  collection  equally  between 
the  Colleges  of  King's  and  Eton.  I  hope  that  both  portions 
may  be  adequately  catalogued  at  no  distant  date.

<mag>nam  mercedem.  Deus  te  quern  fecit  {Tract,  de  Ps.  cii.

Contents  : 

Supply  to  the  deficiency  of  the  previous  copy  from  the  words  following  quantum 
ingenio  (cap.  xiv.  or  §  23)  to  the  end. 

This  is  a  transcript  of  that  part  of  the  previous  volume  which  is  now  missing,  made 
when  that  copy  was  imperfect  and  disarranged:  f.  17  was  already  lost,  and  ff.  7,  8  were 
loose  and  inserted  between  ff.  18  and  19.  However,  the  copyist  has  written  straight  on 
without  any  hesitation,  while  the  corrector  has  noted  the  deficiencies  in  the  margin. 
Accurate  measurement  shows  that  this  copy  must  have  been  made  from  one  of  which 
ff.  1-6  were  not  copied,  f.  17  was  wanting,  f.  22  probably  blank,  and  the  remainder 
arranged  as  follows:  9-16,  18,  7,  8,  19-21.  What  should  precede  f.  7  is  exactly 
enough  to  fill  six  leaves,  and  as  we  have  ff.  1-6  of  the  earlier  MS.,  it  is  a  fair  inference 
that  the  supply  was  re-written  from  the  remainder  of  the  earlier  one  when  loose  and  dis- 
ordered.   [H.  B.] 

Mr  Bradshaw  has  put  his  conclusions  in  another  form,  which  I 
append. 

Suppose  a  copy  with  the  following  collation  : 

a8  b8  c6  (6  blank):  22  leaves,  2  columns,  41  lines. 

Suppose  the  outer  sheet  of  c,  that  is,  ff.  17  and  22  (the  latter  blank),  to  be  wanting. 
Suppose  a  7  and  a  8  loose,  and  thrust  in  between  c  2  and  c  3. 

Suppose  a  1  -a  6  allowed  to  remain  as  they  are,  and  then  have  the  rest  of  the  volume 
as  it  now  stands  transcribed  in  a  volume  of  this  collation  : 

a8  b4  (43  blank):  12  leaves,  2  columns,  41  lines. 

You  then  have  a  transcript,  written  straight  on,  of  ff.  7-22  in  the  following  order  :

The  MS.  was  given  to  the  College  by  Richard  Day,  Fellow,  in 
1576.  At  the  beginning  of  each  tract  he  has  inserted  a  woodcut 
title-page  printed  on  vellum. 

At  the  top,  on  R.  and  Z.,  outside  a  frame,  are  devices  of  the  Sun  and  Moon,  recum- 
bent figures,  and  by  the  Sun  is  Leo  and  a  child,  by  the  Moon,  Cancer  and  an  old.  man. 

Inside  the  frame,  at  the  top,  Time  with  wings,  goat's  legs,  and  scythe,  attended  by  a

On  L.  of  this,  on  clouds,  are  figures  of  Aratns  with  a  square  instrument,  Hipparchus 
with  a  sextant,  Geometria  with  rule,  square,  and  compasses,  Arithmetica  with  a  table  of 
numbers  from  r  to  10. 

Below  the  centre:  the  sign  of  Gemini,  a  seated  figure  of  Mercnrins,  and  Virgo. 

On  R.  of  centre,  from  top  :  Strabo  drawing  a  map  of  Anglia,  Polibins  examining  a 
comet  with  a  cross-shaped  instrument,  Astronomia  with  a  planisphere,  and  Music  a  with 
a  lute.    In  the  L.  lower  corner  is  the  signature  ib  +  f. 

There  are  three  of  these  titles  in  this  volume. 

The  printed  title  is  altered  in  each :  the  second  is  for  the  De 
quantitate  Animae.  The  date  1575  is  untouched.  The  third  is  to 
Boethius  de  Trinitate:  the  date  1575  is  altered  to  1576. 

These  title-pages  are  enumerated  by  Mr  Sandars  in  his  Annotated 
List  of  Books  Printed  on  Vellum  (C.  A.  S.  Octavo  Publications, 
no.  xv.  1878),  nos.  102-103,  106. 

The  design  was  used  by  John  Day  in  his  Cunningham's 
Cosmographical  Glasse,  1 560,  for  which  it  must  have  been  designed ; 
and  in  Parker's  De  Antiquitate  Britannicae  Ecclesiae,  1572  (Sandars, 
1.  c).    It  is  described  by  Dibdin,  Typographical  Antiquities,  iv.  73.

Mr  Bradshaw  has  further  begun  a  list  of  the  lives  with  the  opening  and  closing  words 
of  each,  but  it  is  not  complete,  and  on  the  whole  seems  not  worth  giving  at  length. 

The  order  of  lives  is  that  in  Rosweyd's  text  from  the  Vita  S.  Johannis  (Rosw.  p.  449)

On  f.  20  is  a  very  difficult  fragment  in  modern  Greek  written  in 
Roman  letters,  apparently  by  an  Italian.  Mr  Bradshaw  speaks  of 
having  made  a  copy  of  it  elsewhere :  but  I  have  not  found  it. 

It  seems  to  be  in  dialogue  form,  and  to  relate  to  mercantile 
matters.  I  have  transliterated  it  into  Greek;  but  a  great  many 
words  seem  nonsense  as  they  stand.

There  is  a  very  good  outline  initial  to  the  prologue  on  f.  1  b. 
The  hand  is  at  first  very  good,  but  rather  coarsens  towards  the  end 
of  the  book.    The  initials  are  mostly  in  red  and  green.

The  two  tracts  are  really  continuous.  The  archetype  of  all  the 
MSS.  is  Codex  Venetus  Marcianus  307  of  cent,  xi,  xii.  See  Ed. 
Hiller's  preface  to  his  edition  in  the  Teubner  series. 

This  MS.  is  not  in  the  same  hand  as  the  Euclid  (no.  20),  but 
closely  resembles  it  in  size  and  general  appearance. 

On  f.  1  ci  are  the  arms  of  England  and  France  quartered,  on  a 
gold  ground,  within  a  wreath  of  bay  with  two  red  roses  :  on  either 
side  are  branches  of  pomegranates  on  a  blue  ground  dotted  with 
gold.    Above  is  a  crown. 

The  title  is  in  gold.    The  title  to  no.  2  is  unfinished. 

On  f.  ii  a  is,  in  a  neat  upright  hand : 

Haec  est  pulcra  manus,  sed  qui  sic  iudicet  errat, 
Nam  fuerant  istaec  carmina  scripta  pede.

Socius  1723.  The  name  Rob.  Klmere  (?)  occurs  on  one  of  the  last 
leaves. 

The  hand  is  good,  but  not  exceptionally  so.  The  initials  are 
in  red  and  blue,  flourished.  The  earlier  pages  have  suffered  from 
wet. 

There  are  marginal  notes  on  the  first  few  pages,  on  the  Psalter, 
and  on  the  Gospels. 

The  order  of  books  is  as  usual.  There  is  no  4  Esdras.  Vol.  i. 
contains  Genesis  to  Job.    Vol.  ii.  Psalms  to  Apocalypse. 

The  Apocalypse  is  followed  by  "Canones"  on  John,  Mark, 
Luke,  in  verse,  beginning 

A.  de  principio  testis  baptista  prolatus 

Per  moysen  lex  •  nemo  deum  uidit  •  fore  christum

among  others  (on  first  leaf  and  last  but  one)  a  list  of  expositors 
for  the  whole  Bible.

The  initial  survives  in  this  place.  It  is  not  of  Italian  execution: 
burnished  gold  is  freely  employed,  and  the  shaded  green,  pink,  and 
blue,  characteristic  of  English  art. 

The  hand  is  very  good.  There  are  marginal  notes  by  the 
original  scribe. 

Mr  Bradshaw  notes  at  the  end  of  the  volume :  This  volume  is

The  hand  is  fine  and  regular :  the  initials  elaborately  flourished, 
in  blue  and  red. 

The  whole  book  resembles  the  type  of  the  ordinary  small  Bible 
of  the  xiiith  century.  There  are  a  good  many  marginal  notes  in 
various  hands.

Contents : 

Vaticinia  Duo,  prions  Christianus,  posterioris  Mahumetanus  author  est. 
Anno  Domini  1592. 

Dedication  to  John  Whitgift  Abp  of  Canterbury:  from  John  Castollus:  dated  London 
27  Sept.  1592.  The  writer  says  that  he  found  the  Christian  prophecy  at  Paris  "in 
bibliotheca  Gorraei  medici  celeberrimi"  in  a  MS.  defective  through  age:  of  the  other  he 
had  bought  a  copy  in  French,  printed  at  Antwerp,  some  fifteen  years  back. 

I.    The  Christian  prophecy  is  headed  : 

Ex  Libro  Mirabili  sumpta  haec  in  chronica  Martiniana. 

Tacui  et  semper  silui,  nunc  autem  loquar  euentus  mirabiles  quos  audiui. 

The  lacunae  of  the  MS.  seem  to  occur  where  a  precise  date 
would  otherwise  have  to  be  mentioned  :  e.g.  "  circa  annum  Do- 
mini *  ."    It  occupies  nine  pages  :  at  the  end  is  : 

Hanc  prophetiam  antiquitus  scriptam  reperies  in  clarissimo  Gallorum  regno,  quam 
habet  quidam  presbyter  nomine  Guillielmus  Bauge  in  Diocesi  turonensi  in  parochia  de 
Nohan.  Quae  sequuntur  Gallorum  indolem  describunt  et  ex  eiusdem  historiae  capite 
decimo  septimo  desumpta  sunt. 

Collegi  ex  dictis  antiquorum  Galliam  traxisse  nomen  a  yd\a  graeco  quod  est  lac

Sir  Henry  Wotton,  Provost  of  Eton,  purchased  a  good  many 
MSS.,  once  in  Pietro  Bembo's  Library,  when  he  was  Ambassador 
at  Venice :  most  of  them  are  now  in  the  College  Library  at  Eton, 
to  which  he  bequeathed  them.  Among  them  is  a  Cicero  de

On  f.  i,  in  Bembo's  hand,  is  : 

Satis  Beatus  unicis  Boetis. 
Truditur  dies  die  •  noueque  pergunl 
Interire  lune. 

On  f.  ii  is  a  table  of  contents  also  by  Bembo,  and  some  later 
scribbles. 

On  the  last  leaf  of  the  volume,  on  the  recto,  is  a  long  passage 
written  by  Bembo,  headed  : 

D.  Mgr  Michael  Carrarius  in  libello  suo  de  choreis  musarum  .c.  secundo  de  Medicina. 
Sunt  preterea  ipsius  due  principales  partes  Sanitatem  habitumque  tueri  et  amissam 
redimere. 

And  at  the  bottom  two  lines  from  Pliny  Epp.  vii.  xxvi.  : 

Tales  esse  sani  perseueremus  quales  nos  futuros  profitemur  infirmi. 

On  the  verso : 

161.    Si  bene  te  noui.    Lib.  epistolarum. 
Summa  Inter  cuncta  leges  et  percunctabere  doctos 

totius  Qua  ratione  queas  traducere  leniter  euum 

vite.  Ne  te  semper  inops  agitet  uexetque  cupido 

Et  genus  et  uirtus  nisi  cum  re  uilior  alga  est. 

The  writing  is  a  fine,  italic  hand :  the  ornaments  most  beautiful 
throughout.  The  title  of  each  poem  is  in  capitals,  red,  blue,  or 
purple :  the  opening  of  each  book  is  also  in  capitals,  gold,  red, 
blue,  green,  and  purple. 

In  the  lower  margin  of  the  first  page  is  Bembo's  shield,  azure 
a  chevron  or  between  three  roses  of  the  second :  motto  VIRTVS  ET 
HONOR  :  crest  a  demi-Pegasus. 

The  initial  to  Carminum  Liber  i.  contains  two  Pegasi :  the 
arms  occur  again  in  the  initial  to  Book  ii.  of  the  Epistles.  The 
other  initials  are  most  exquisite  decorative  work :  often  in  gold  on 
a  red  ground.

Popes  are  uniformly  called  abostoile  (apostolicus),  and  apostles, 
apostle.  The  indications  point  to  a  Franciscan  house  in  Lincoln- 
shire :  the  Cobeldyks  were  important  people  in  the  district  called 
Holland.  Alexander  de  Cobeldyk  is  often  mentioned  in  the 
Patent  Rolls  for  1 327-1 333.

The  use  closely  resembles  that  of  Chalons-sur-Marne :  the 
Saints  point  to  Langres  or  Toul  much  more  clearly  than  to 
Chalons.  On  the  whole  Langres  may  be  taken  as  the  likely 
provenance.  The  writing  is  fairly  good :  the  ornament  rough  but 
effective.  Each  page  has  a  partial  border  of  line  and  leaf  work: 
the  leaves  in  gold. 

The  miniatures  are  coarsely  done,  but  in  some  cases  are  unusual.

1.  Sequences  of  the  Gospels.  Two-thirds  of  page.  S.  John  seated  facing  A.,  on  an 
island,  writing:  eagle  holds  inkstand  in  his  beak.    A  large  bird  in  a  tree  near. 

The  picture  of  S.  Luke  is  gone. 

2.  S.  Matthew  seated  on  a  rock  in  a  landscape,  face  to  Z.,  looks  at  his  pen:  scroll 
on  knee.    A  small  angel  on  Z.  holds  the  ink. 

3.  S.  Mark  seated  in  a  landscape,  writing,  scroll  on  knee.  An  ox  couches  by  him : 
it  should  have  been  a  lion. 

The  picture  to  Matins  of  the  Virgin  is  gone. 

4.  Te  Denm  (in  Matins)  has  a  large  initial  with  a  bust  of  the  Virgin,  full-face,  in  a 
pink  dress. 

5.  Lauds.    Initial.    The  Visitation.    Mary  (on  Z.)  and  Elizabeth  in  a  landscape. 

6.  Prime.  The  Virgin  and  Joseph  kneel  and  adore  the  Child  in  a  landscape:  rays 
above.    Ox  and  ass  behind,  on  Z. 

7.  '  Tierse.'    Two  shepherds  with  staves,  point  upwards :  rays  above. 

8.  ' Midi''  {Sext).    The  Flight  into  Egypt:  the  figures  are  going  to  A'. 

9.  Nones.  The  Presentation.  The  Virgin  holds  the  Child  in  swaddling  clothes. 
Simeon  in  ermined  cape  stands  on  A.  of  an  altar,  facing  Z. 

10.  Vespers.  Two  kings  (one  kneeling)  present  gifts  to  the  Child  on  the  Virgin's 
knee.    Star  in  sky. 

11.  Compline.  The  Virgin  kneels,  in  a  building:  a  small  angel  on  Z.  is  placing  a 
Crown  on  her  head. 

12.  Honrs  of  the  Cross.  Initial.  The  Crucifixion,  with  the  Virgin  and  S.  John,  in  a 
landscape. 

The  picture  to  the  Seven  Psalms  is  gone. 

13.  Litany.  Initial.  The  Virgin  crowned,  full-face,  half-length,  with  joined  hands: 
on  either  side  of  her  are  small  figures  of  Apostles  also  full-face  (four  on  L.,  three  on  A5.). 
Gold  ground. 

There  is  not  usually  a  picture  to  the  Litany. 

14.  Office  of  the  Dead.  Funeral  in  Churchyard  (Church  porch  on  A.).  The  sexton 
is  laying  the  shrouded  corpse  into  the  earth  :  the  priest  and  acolyte,  surpliced,  stand  by 
the  grave:  the  mourners  beyond,  on  Z.,  in  black  cloaks  touched  with  gold.

15.  0  intemerata.  The  Virgin  and  Child  half-length  in  a  silver  crescent:  much 
rubbed. 

This  picture  is  by  a  later  and  rather  better  artist  than  nos.  1-14:  the  border  is  also 
more  carefully  done.    It  is  of  the  "geometrical"  kind. 

16.  Stabat  Mater.  A  Pieta:  the  Virgin  seated  beneath  the  cross,  with  the  body  of 
Christ  across  her  knees  :  a  landscape  behind. 

17.  S.  Barbara  with  palm  and  book  in  a  landscape  :  a  tower  on  Z.

The  Litany  is  absolutely  undistinctive  in  its  Saints.  The  use 
is  of  Rome. 

The  miniatures  are  rather  above  the  average  shop-work  in  the 
kalendar.    In  the  rest  of  the  book  they  are  not. 

The  kalendar  has  a  border  on  one  side  of  each  page:  the

occupation  of  the  month  occupies  the  whole  space  :  the  zodiacal

mostly  divided  into  geometrical  figures  and  filled  with  rather  coarse 
ornament  and  fluid  gold.

11.  June,  in  doublet,  shirt,  hose  and  shoes,  drinks  from  a  globular  bottle  in  a  hay

24.  Capricorn.    A  goat  in  a  field.

2.    Prologue  in  prose  206  b 

Quoniam  modernis  temporibus  nonnulli. 

By  one  Johannes. 

The  tract  is  in  verse,  and  gives  the  contents  of  each  chapter  of  the  various  books  of 
the  Bible  in  alphabetical  order,  two  lines  being  devoted  to  each.  The  first  line  describing 
chapter  i.  begins  with  A,  the  distich  on  chap,  ii,  with  B,  and  so  on ;  when  the  alphabet 
is  exhausted,  it  is  begun  again.  Thus  in  Genesis,  which  has  50  chapters,  the  alphabet  is 
used  up  twice  and  the  last  distich  begins  with  D.

In  his  preface  the  author  explains  that  he  has  taken  liberties  in  the  case  of  the  letters 


Inc.    Ante  tir  (?)  lux  producitur  •  distinguens  vndas  congregat. 
Ornatus  factis  additur  •  producta  ade  subiugat.

Gen.— 2  Chron.,  Ezr.,  Neh.,  1  (3)  Esdr.,  Tob.,  Jud.,  Esth.,  Job. 

A  prose  section  pointing  out  that  the  epitome  of  the  Psalter  was 
not  needed,  and  giving  statistics  as  to  the  number  of  verses  (2606). 

Prov. — Ecclus,  Isa. — 2  Mace. 
Evv.,  Rom. — Hebr. 

Ends  imperfectly  with  the  distich  for  Heb.  viii. 
The  catch-word  for  the  next  leaf  is 

In  quo  natos. 

On  f.  206  is  the  colophon  to  the  Aurora.

The  words  referred  to  are  alternately  in  red  with  blue  initial  and 
blue  with  red  initial.    The  line-fillings  of  gold  and  blue. 

The  hand,  English,  is  clear  and  good  throughout. 

Most  of  the  miniatures  (there  was  originally  one  to  each  letter  of 
the  alphabet)  have  been  cut  out:  those  which  remain  are  as  follows  : 

A  was  most  likely  for  Aaron. 

1.  Letter  B  cut  out:  but  a  corner  is  left,  with  part  of  an  animal  and  two  branches 
on  the  ground  :  the  word  illustrated  was  no  doubt  Baal :  and  the  scene  may  have  been 
the  sacrifice  of  Jeroboam,  or  that  on  Mt  Carmel. 

1.  C.  Cabul.  Red  ground,  flourished  with  gold.  On  R.,  Solomon  seated  on  a 
white  throne :  he  is  crowned,  white-bearded,  in  pink  robe  and  ermine,  and  looks 
dejected.  His  hands  are  held  as  if  he  was  arguing.  In  centre,  Hiram  crowned,  beard- 
less, in  short  scarlet  tunic  trimmed  with  fur,  and  pink  hose :  he  looks  at  Solomon,  and 
points  to  L.,  at  two  white  cities,  towered,  among  green  hills.  Scroll :  heccine  sunt  ciui- 
tates  quas  dedisti  mihi... 

3.  D.  Dagon.  Interior  of  a  temple,  with  green  pavement  and  black  lines  on  it. 
On  Z.  four  men  kneel  and  look  R.  In  L.  background  is  the  ark,  a  gold  shrine  with 
coped  lid :  on  R.  Dagon  is  falling  off  a  white  pedestal.    He  is  golden,  except  his  head,

and  is  a  nude  human  figure.  The  head  is  that  of  a  fish,  and  in  silver :  it  is  falling  off,  as 
also  is  his  Z.  hand. 

E  was  probably  Ebal. 

4.  F.  Faba.  Red  ground,  gold-flourished,  in  squares.  On  Z.  three  men  kneel : 
one  has  a  gold  jug,  another  a  blue  object.  In  centre  is  David,  old,  in  green  head-dress 
falling  low  down  on  R.,  and  pink  gown.  At  his  feet  are  four  sheep  and  three  oxen. 
Armed  men  on  R.    The  text  illustrated  is  2  Sam.  xvii.  "  Barzillai  brought  beans"  etc. 

5.  H.  Habene.  1  Kings  xxii.  The  washing  of  Ahab's  chariot.  Red  and  gold 
ground.  On  Z.  a  stream:  two  men  kneel  by  it;  water  flows  from  something  in  their 
hands  (or  they  are  washing  some  white  reins):  behind,  a  scarlet  waggon  with  hooped 
laths  for  an  awning,  which  is  white  and  furled  on  the  top.  The  hind-quarters  of  a  white 
horse,  a  step  or  ledge  at  the  end  of  the  cart,  and  two  of  four  wheels  are  seen. 

6.  I.  Jabeth  {Jaboc).  Gen.  xxxii.  Jacob  crossing  the  brook  Jabbok.  Ground  as 
before ;  on  Z.  a  river,  on  the  other  side  of  which  are  clumps  of  trees :  on  the  nearer  side 
is  one  clump  on  a  rock.  Jacob  leads  five  women  towards  Z.  The  two  in  front  have 
plain  wimples,  the  other  three  heart-shaped  head-dresses.  Jacob  has  pointed  hat,  scarlet

This  enormous  MS.  was  always  regarded  as  one  of  the  curiosities 
of  Cambridge,  and  is  mentioned  in  many  old  books  of  travel.  Its 
size  is  certainly  very  remarkable,  but  it  is  not  otherwise  a  par- 
ticularly interesting  book. 

1  Jerome  Osorio  died  in  /580.  The  rest  of  his  Library,  also  taken  by  Essex,  is  now 
in  the  Bodleian. 


APPENDIX. 


THE  annexed  Inventory  of  the  Library  formerly  belonging  to 
the  College  is  interesting  chiefly  as  a  record  ;  for  of  the  175 
volumes  enumerated  in  it  only  a  solitary  one  remains.  It  is  the 
Athanasius  (no.  9  in  Distinccio  G).  What  has  become  of  the  other 
books  is  at  present  absolutely  unknown. 

The  Inventory  is  printed  from  a  transcript  made  by  Mr  Brad- 
shaw  from  the  original  MS.  in  the  College  Muniment-room.  I  have 
collated  the  transcript  with  the  original. 

The  volume  which  contains  it  is  a  large  book  bound  in  boards, 
measuring  17^  in.  by  12  in.  It  is  in  quires  of  eight  leaves,  and  the 
contents  are  as  follows  : 

(1)  Inventory  of  Church  plate,  vestments  and  service-books  .       .       a  2 — b3 

(2)  The  Charter  of  the  Foundation  of  the  College,  followed  by 

abstracts  of  other  deeds   b  4 — d  1 

(3)  Blank  leaves,  many  of  which  have  been  cut  out       .       .       .  d2 — m8 

(4)  Catalogue  of  the  Library,  printed  here   n  1 — n  8 

(5)  Blank  leaves  01 — 06  (2,  3  gone): 

List  of  Provosts  and  Scholars  from  the  Foundation         .       .       o  7 — p  8 

(6)  List  of  pledges,  much  damaged  q  2  ab 

The  date  of  the  volume  is  1452. 

The  classification  of  the  books  is  clear  enough  :  Distinctions  A 
to  C  contained  Philosophical  Works,  D  to  K,  Theology,  L,  Medicine, 
M,  Astrology  and  Mathematics,  N,  Canon  Law,  O  P,  Classical  and 
General  Literature,  Q,  grammatical  books. 

As  to  the  history  of  the  Library  and  the  building  which  con- 
tained it :  the  Founder  in  his  great  plan  for  the  College,  which 
was  never  carried  out,  prescribes  that  there  shall  be,  in  the  West 
side  of  the  Court,  at  the  end  toward  the  Chapel,  "  a  librarie,  con- 
teynyng  in  lengthe  •  cx  •  fete,  and  in  brede  •  xxiiij  •  fete,  and  vnder 
hit  a  large  hous  for  redyng  and  disputacions,  and  •  ij  •  chambres 
vnder  the  same  librarie,  euery  conteynyng  •  xxix  •  fete  in  lengthe

and  in  brede  •  xxiiij  •  feet."  The  words  are  worth  quoting,  as 
showing  the  magnificence  of  the  King's  design  in  this  regard  :  but 
for  the  actual  history  of  what  existed,  I  must  quote  from  Willis 
and  Clark's  Architectural  History  of  the  University  of  Cambridge 
(i-  537),  "Numerous  charges  in  the  Mundum-Book  for  1448  for 
the  purchase  and  chaining  of  books  prove  that  a  Library  was  even 
then  in  existence  ;  and  the  apartment  was  of  sufficient  importance 
to  be  shewn  to  Henry  the  Sixth,  from  a  charge  for  strewing  it 
with  rushes  in  expectation  of  a  visit  from  him1.  From  the  fact 
that  the  only  volume  now  remaining  of  those  mentioned  in  the 
catalogue  of  1452  belonged  to  Humphrey,  Duke  of  Gloucester,  it 
is  not  improbable  that  the  King  furnished  the  College  Library 
with  many  of  the  Duke's  books,  obtained  after  his  death  at  Bury 
in  1447.  No  precise  record  of  its  situation  has  been  preserved; 
we  learn,  however,  from  a  catalogue  of  its  contents  in  the  College 
Register  that  the  door  was  at  the  east  end,  and  that  it  contained 
sixteen  compartments2.  Again,  when  the  books  were  moved  into 
the  new  library,  it  was  turned  into  two  rooms  for  Fellows3.  It  was 
therefore  about  forty-five  feet  long,  judging  from  the  dimensions 
of  the  plan,  and  the  position  of  the  door  at  the  east  end  leads 
to  the  conclusion  that  it  must  have  been  either  on  the  first  or 
second  floor  of  the  south  side  of  the  Old  Court.  The  view  of  the 
exterior  of  that  side  shews  four  windows  close  together  on  the 
second  floor,  which  look  as  if  they  might  have  belonged  to  it,  and 
this  conjecture  is  supported  by  a  charge  for  '  mending  the  leddes 
over  the  librarie  chambers'  in  1578 — 79. 

"  The  vestries  on  the  south  side  of  the  choir  of  the  Chapel  were 
used  as  a  Library  from  1570,  until  the  new  Library  was  built  by 
Wilkins.  They  were  fitted  up  for  this  purpose  at  the  expense  of 
Dr  Roger  Goade  (Provost  1569 — 1610)." 

The  derivation  of  some  part  at  least  of  the  collection  from 
Duke  Humphrey,  which  is  suggested  above,  is  rather  confirmed 
by  the  occurrence  of  translations  of  Plato  and  Plutarch,  of  a
